Accommodations
bbRed Cloud, Nebraska is said to be the most famous little town in America, and those of us at the Willa Cather Foundation know that this is true. The Red Cloud Opera House and Cather Center sees nearly 10,000 visitors from all over the world pass through its doors each year. Those visitors need places to stay, and our little town has a number of quaint options.

CATHER'S RETREAT BED AND BREAKFAST

Visitors can reserve her adult room, or the rooms of her brothers and sisters. Cable television. Non-smoking.
